On Sunday my dog ran straight through my Musa basjoo, causing a large break in the psuedostem towards the bottom. Although it did not completely detach from the rest of the plant, the top was only held on by a small amount of tissue.
I attempted to remedy the break by using a few sticks as stakes and wrapping a bit of tape around the break to hold the plant upright.

Yesterday, on Monday, the plant looked exactly the same as it did on Sunday; there was no growth but no visible damage to any part of the plant besides the break in the pseudostem. But today the leaves are beginning to show damage with the newest one (on the top right in the picture below) drying out significantly.

I applied fertilizer to the dirt today and also gave it a lot of water. Is there any possibility of the break healing and growth eventually continuing normally?
